It's simple. When I hear you say things that I've just heard Rush
Limbaugh say on his show that morning it's pretty easy to conclude
where
you got it from.

No, that's a completely invalid assumption. Maybe Rush got it from him.

Now that's irrational thinking.

No, it isn't. It may not be how it actually happened, but it is
perfectly plausible. Among other things, Limbaugh is not an original
thinker at all - he has to get his ideas from someone. JK is as
plausible a source as anyone else.



I listen to what people on the right say all the time.
I'm a political junky.

You are a politically naïve fool. You have a little bit of exposure to
undergraduate Marxist political theory; in no way do you understand real
politics.

I forgot more about politics than you ever knew.

No.


You seem to have the classic "mind like a steel trap".
Slams shut at the slightest touch, hard to get open, destroys what it
does grasp in it's teeth, and everything falls out the sides.

Exactly. Hawke-Ptooey doesn't know even a minute fraction of what he
pretends to know.

Get out the mirror bro.

I'm holding it up so you can see yourself, girl.


What you are seeing is your own vagina.
